Prince Harry arrived to a chaotic scene less than an hour after it was reported that the Duke of Sussex had accepted the offer to stay at Buckingham Palace.
However, King Charles withdrew the offer, leaving Harry to fend for himself while Meghan Markle and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, remain in the United States.
Amid the confusion and indecision, the royal teams have continued with their planned schedules at the respective royal residences, including Balmoral Castle.
The beloved Scotland Palace, where Charles had been staying last week, announced a special family event that Harry would not be a part of.
“The countdown is on with less than three weeks until our Family Day events return!” statement read. “From outdoor cinema and wildlife displays to vintage coaches and activities across the grounds, join us on 25 July or 1 August for a unique way to experience Balmoral Castle this summer.”
It continued: “Set on the picturesque North Lawn, enjoy film screenings along with a variety of family-friendly activities, all included in the standard admission price.”
They noted that the screening for Zootopia 2 and Brave will feature “BBQ, movie snacks and a selection of drinks available for purchase”.
It would be an event for families to come together and “make memories together at the royal family’s Highland home”.
